Week 2 Day 2

Well, just got finished with my day two c25k run. That was a tad bit harder. Maybe it was because I had to take a different route as there was two huge dogs on the path as I got near. My dogs almost started fighting each other cuz they wanted to go over there. That is my biggest fear running with them. If we don't see anything we are good, but as soon as a bunny or bird or other digs enter the picture I have no clue what they will do, just hope they don't turn on one another! But we survived! My last one for the week will be Sunday morning before we head to Nana's for Father's Day. I definitely feel alot better after running. It gives a burst of energy which is awesome! Next week the 30 minute workout changes again. Right now it's 90 sec jog, 2 min walk sandwiched with a 5 min warm up and cool down. Next week the middle 20 minutes is 90 sec jog, 90 sec walk, 3 min jog, 3 min walk, repeat...I'm a little nervous about that! Hopefully It will go better than I think it will. Not sure how I will double what I'm running right now, but all I can do is give it my best. The program is 9 weeks long, so I should be able to run a 5k by the second week of August (if I workout on the cruise and my convention)...so maybe by the end of the month :) If you want to try c25k there are free podcasts out there you can download. I downloaded the app on my phone for $2.99 I think and I like it cuz I get to listen to music too. The app/podcasts tell you when to jog and walk. It also keeps track of how far you have run, and your pace. I like it for sure. I got the green app and TJ has the brown app. With TJ's you can run your ipod, a runkeeper app, and the c25k all at the same time. Mine I had to upload 100 songs into the app from my ipod and get the GPS enabled to track how far I'm going and the pace. Let me know if you have any questions!
